Husband of the Year

I wasn't really sure what to get Beck for her B-day this year. I finally made up my mind on a nice necklace for $200. Then, out of nowhere, an idea popped in to my head. So I went over to the sports store where they sell team jerseys, hats, mugs and some signed stuff. I wanted to see if they had any Broncos stuff. I looked at the helmets hoping not to see one with the Broncos logo on it. Well, I didn't see one...at first. As I was walking away something caught my eye...yep. I was now hoping like mad that it wasn't signed by John Elway. I go into the store and ask who signed it. The lady gets it down and hands it to me...John Elway. I have to look at the price even though I already knew I was buying it since Elway is next to God in this house. Price: $799.

So long story longer... I walked out of the store with an Elway helmet, a 16x20 framed and signed picture of Clinton Portis, a really nice glass case for the helmet, a orange/blue street sign that reads 7 John Elway Dr. and my wallet $1030.00 lighter. On the plus side, I did get the $140 case for free, the $40 street sign for free and I didn't pay any sales tax on anything for a total savings of about $270.

Needless to say, Beck was quite shocked! She has been wanting a helmet signed by Elway for over 9 years. I think the Portis photo will be worth something someday since he is pretty good.

I am worn out and I am going to play my flight sim for awhile and then hit the sack.
